Abusive Companies

Is it weak government or a weak and powerless people that is the problem?

Look, we have right now a very serious problem of power. Pre-need companies are folding left and right and asking government billions of our money to prop them up.

Legacy group of companies have been stricken out of the major broadsheets. For the past few weeks, nothing has been heard about it. Is Legacy now being given 14 billion pesos from PDIC funds without accountability? PDIC executives should be reminded that those monies came from taxes, the people's money. They must not toy with it.

AMAPLans and other pre-need companies are reporting huge losses, probably because they too think that they can get away with murder by diluting their trust funds and asking government to give them money to prop those funds up. They are cooking us with our own fat!

What had happened to the plus 40 billion pesos stimulus fund that the SSS intends to give businesses and banks? These funds are also public money. No news means danger.

We have companies like SMART which funds a very secretive online movement called AKO MISMO. AKO MISMO is being charged with phishing activities, an illegal and IMMORAL THING. AKO MISMO is reportedly not only a very deceptive marketing ploy---it also allegedly intends to sell personal information of its members to the highest political bidder. AKO MISMO is playing the nationalist card while collating data that it allegedly intends to sell.

We have senators that break the law by not subjecting themselves to self-quarantine---a procedure required in times of health crisis in all countries.

We have a vindictive group of grafters and evildoers that uses the law as their shield against criticism and spends public money to pursue injustice against those who seek the truth.

We have journalists like Che-che Lazaro (more on this later) who now faces a wiretapping charge for allegedly presenting an interview she got from a GSIS senior official.

Lastly, we have an MultiNational Company acting like a bully and disrespecting even our former presidents! Nestle Philippine CEO Nandu Nandiskore should be expatriated immediately for embarrasing his company and by committing unprofessional acts.

Is it weak government or we have a weak and powerless people? In other countries, issues like these immediately merit a proper and judicious response.

If we are in Singapore, that Legacy owner would have been hanged already. Owners of pre-need companies who diluted their trust funds would have gotten the same treatment and worst, not allowed to be buried.

That AKO MISMO site would have been immediately stricken out of the netsphere and officials charged.

Che-Che Lazaro would have been hailed a hero.

And Nandu expatriated with his head bowed.
